Children’s Dentistry
A child’s smile affects everything from their diet to their self-confidence and personality. As your Mt Gravatt East family dentist, we understand how important it is to make dental care a positive experience for your son or daughter. That’s why we recommend checkups for every child starting at age one.
Creating a Lifetime of Smiles
By seeing your child from an early age, we’re able to familiarise them with the dental care environment and help them feel at ease when it’s time for a checkup. Plus, we can screen for potential oral health concerns, so that they can be addressed at an earlier and more affordable stage.
We Have a Pedodontist On Staff
Dr Steve Kazoullis spent three additional years studying to become a pedodontist after completing dental school. Being that young children often require treatments that differ from their parents, Dr Steve is able to provide these services without referring your family elsewhere. Some of the children we see have unique concerns such as:
- Cleft palate / cleft lip
- Anxiety or fear
- Special needs
- Developmental concerns
- Advanced tooth decay
A pain-free environment is always our top priority. We work at your child’s own comfort level, to keep things relaxed and free of unnecessary stress.
What Happens During Your Child’s Dental Visit
We work closely with parents to address any concerns and educate them on the proper care of their child’s teeth. By addressing problems such as tooth decay — even in baby teeth — we can have a tremendous influence on the health of your child’s future adult smile. Preventative orthodontic techniques minimize the need for more extensive treatments later, as we can actively intercept them during your child’s early oral development.
